European road trip in a motorhome?

[Sarkmeister]

A few friends and I are planning a bit of a road trip around europe (france, spain, italy, germany, croatia etc) this summer (approx 3 weeks). We plan to hire a 7 berth motorhome and use that for both transport and somewhere to sleep.

Has anyone here done something similar before?

If so, how easy was it to get anywhere near the actual city centres?

I dont expect to be able to park/sleep right in the centre, but id rather not be in a camp site 20 miles away (otherwise the taxis will cost as much as the hotel would have).

Any advice would be great, cheers. Especially if someone knows somewhere to park near Barcelona/Munich/Paris/Prague/Milan etc.

Cheers.....

Think youve answered your own question there

I have toured around Europe in a 6 berth camper and you won't have any problems finding sites anywhere. We just headed for the tourist info in each stopover, which is always signposted, and got a local camp site map.

Basically, we will be wanting nights out at each city, and im thinking that getting back to the campsite in the middle of the night will be difficult/expensive. How far away from the centre were the campsites on average?

I remember doing something similar in an old AEC Regent "RT" bus back in 1962. We went to Athens,eventually,and got ourselves into some scrapes along the way but all in all it was a laugh. Met a few gals on the way and all my mates got tucked right in amongst them. I didn't cause god told me women were no good and to stick to men.

Good Luck

God bless you.

Most of the time we stayed very close to some kind night life. In most French towns you will find a "Camping Municipal" which is a local council site (cheap and functional)and nearly always near the town centre. As for barcelona, we found a site 10 miles north and on the coast right next to the railway line to the city centre,4 euros and 15 mins later and we were in catalonia square.

That should be helpful for them.

We got plenty of those already in the group, one more would definitely be too much....

Thanks for this (its always nice to find a serious answer amongst all the gay innuendo).

Apologies for all the questions, but could you get back late at night, or did all the public transport stop?

Hopefully we can do something similar to what you suggest at all the major cities on the route. Will need some serious research I think....
